MLB home run props for Wed. 8/28: Everything's Jake

Joey Ortiz (+1060 FD)

Giants at Brewers, 8:10 p.m. ET

This is a perfect setup for Ortiz. The Milwaukee Brewers third baseman has hit five of his nine home runs off left-handed pitching this season, and he's been crushing lefties recently. Ortiz is slugging .650 with a 46.7 percent fly-ball rate and a 60.0 percent hard-hit rate against southpaws this month. San Francisco Giants left-hander Kyle Harrison has a 10.2 percent barrel rate this year because he throws a high percentage of 4-seam fastballs, so this is a solid matchup for Ortiz at a huge price. 

Jake Cave (+750 FD)

Marlins at Rockies, 8:40 p.m. ET

It's never a bad idea to target a home run prop at Coors Field, and we love this matchup for Cave. Miami Marlins starter Max Meyer is giving up a 14.3 percent barrel rate and a 49.0 hard-hit rate this season, and he's given up four home runs in his last two starts. Meyer's 4-seam fastball is getting slaughtered this year, and Cave has a .315 batting average and a team-best .616 slugging percentage against 4-seamers this year. He's also batting .350 ad slugging .600 against righties over the last two weeks.
